Heater Core Replacement.

[stefan]

Has anyone managed to do it without completely removing the dash? I think i may need to replace mine but ive run soo many wires under the dash that it would be murder to try remove it.

Also, theres no air filter, correct? Would it be possible that my heater core is plugged with junk? because i have very poor air circulation.

no filter, and no, I don't believe you can do it without removing the dash... I even tried once at a junkyard to smash up the bottom of the dash get at it (someone had already destroyed the upper portion of the dash pulling the cluster and radio)... I hacked and smashed for a while trying to avoid removing the whole thing, but there is just too much in the way down there...
